Cars these days are highly tuned for stock configurations and any modifications of components, such as vehicle upgrades or performance enhancements usually result in throwing off and confusing the electronic software.
Vehicle manufacturers including Renault Sport take a very one size fits all viewpoint on vehicle performance and petrol economy. This opens the door for amazing improvements in performance and economy by changing factory engine maps and customizing these for specific weather conditions and locations.
